Some southwest Florida hotels and motels are experiencing a whiplash of bookings followed by cancellations as a direct result of Hurricane Dorian’s still uncertain path.

While the most recent projection places most of Florida out of the storm’s cone of uncertainty, hurricane force winds are projected along Florida’s east coast with rainfall expected to impact most of the state.

The cycle can be pretty repetitive, but Dorian’s situation is dynamic, said Amanda Cox, director of sales and marketing at JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort.

Vacationers and locals were at the beach in front of the Lani Kai on Saturday, which welcomed hurricane evacuees this weekend as well. In a statement issued Friday by Lani Kai marketing director Melissa Schneider, the hotel said they were happy to become pet-friendly so people could get out of the direct path of the storm. "We know exactly what our friends on the other coast are going through, and the thought of having to leave your non-human loved ones behind just compounds the issue," the statement said.

Each has been seeing mostly people from the east coast come through — from the Palm Beach, Miami and Lakeworth areas. Many are cancelling because they don’t think Hurricane Dorian is going to hit them, Denike said.

With the changing stream of information about where Dorian will hit, and how badly different areas could be affected, east coast Floridians are kept on their toes.
